Basically this.

Shield Lob has shit enmity gen, and it's potency is not worth wasting FoF on. The only purpose it serves is to openly televise which target is going to be the main or priority target for dps, especially Mnks. Otherwise, Flash is the bread and butter of holding mob aggro. In most cases, you can get away with just face-pulling targets and using a trip Flash + CoS to hold hate without any problems. In the newest dungeons, in particular, this seems to be the preferred method as some of the mobs in Xephe-whatever like to aggro outside of our maximum range. Not sure if that was a glitch or what, but you end up face-pulling half the time anyway, so Shield Lob and similar abilities get left by the wayside.
